280 - Durgen vs Calandra

Have now Durgened. Haley2 has emerged on the horizons.

No! Bad Me! One faction at a time dammit!

There's something really off about the Durgen model, a sentiment I know others, though not all, agree with. Pretty sure the design process somehow involves Durgen being drawn up as a concept, getting Chibified then not fixed correctly before the model was sculpted.

I would like to thank the people responsible for this breakthrough in my condition:

Rob - For buying me Durgen, then punching me in the face with Body and Soul BS
Moops - eGaspying me.
Kieran - Reinforcing the eGaspying.

Got the opening dwarf explosion off against Jacob rocking out Calandras theme of doom for the first time.

Durgen - Earthbreaker, Thor, Dougal, Sylyss, Tinker, eEiryss, pAlexia + Risen, Nyss Hunters, TAC, Gun Mages + UA
Objective: Effigy of Valor

Calandra (Elemental whatsit) - 4x Slag, 3x Pyro, 2x Storm,Winter, Moses, Stone + UA
Objective: Bunker

Rolled up Incoming. SR2015 has totally seen a spike in D8's for Warmachine.

Troll Deploy - Calandra smashes the die roll, picks first. Proxies:
Slag - One normal, three Runeshapers
Pyro - Two Normal, Fell Caller Hero
Storms - Pair of Kriel dudes
Winter - Keg Carrier

Merc Deploy - See where Dougal is? Do you know why he is there? Me neither.

Troll 1 -The Lights run up! That's um....uncomfortably close.....I need an adult?

Merc 1 - Earthbreaker gets Redlined, Durgen casts Inhospitable Ground. Dougal rolls his inked eye sockets at me and walks over, popping mini feat. Earthbreaker moves up, knocks down the three nearest lights (Slag, Pyro, Storm). Rolls one shot a side and my second Torpedo reached to far. Nyss spread out in a fashion that shows I have never played them before. The Gun Mages also plink away.

I forgot to activate Thor before the Earthbreaker. Doing well....

Troll 2 - The horde of lights move into a Dominating Controlling Commanding position. Damn game terms, at least I wasn't trying to describe something as being more than regular size. A couple Gun Mages and a few of the Nyss explode. The Slags on the left pew pew almost half the Earthbreaker, taking out the L system.

Merc 2 - Durgen feats, puts Explosivo on three of the Gun Mages then steps back, realising how amazing this Green base objective is and desiring to appreciate it more. Tinker botches his repair roll, because situation is normal. Earthbreaker gets Thored and Dougaled, then moves up knocks down all the front lights, does some light damage to them. The Gun Mages move up, kill off the Kriel Stone barring the UA. TAC move up, they attack one of the left Slags, with the Earthbreaker damage it leaves him on one hit point. Eiryss moves into the zone, plinks that Slag to death. The Nyss run up the flank out of reflex. Red Line finishes off the Earthbreakers left side.

I spent two minutes calculating it was better firing Durgens AoE's rather than the Case Cracker. I then didn't shoot with him....

Troll 3 - One of the Storms walks over, blows Eiryss to her component atoms. The remaining Slag on the left shaves off another quarter of the Earthbreakers health. More of the Nyss and Gun Mages get pulped, all are brave this day. Calandra moves into the left zone.

Trolls go to 2 CP.

Merc 3 - Tinker heals Earthbreaker for 6. Thor and Dougal do their thing. Earthbreaker moves up, rolls max shots, pews Calandra to death with two shots to go.

Well, I need to play Durgen more. I didn't even cast Primed....
